Inspiration can be found in many places, but for us it is definitely not at the bottom of a Four Loko can.

Games Discussed:
Shadowrun, Star Wars, Hero Clix, Call of Cthulhu, Warhammer 40K, Ultima Online, Diablo, Rogue Trader
*Editors Note*
As it turns out, Four Loko is not illegal in our state. It is... [click here for more]

We speculate on the future of tabletop gaming. This episode expounds on some points made in Episode 3 regarding technology and the pen & paper gaming experience. We also have a special thank you at the end.

Some of us went to Indianapolis for Gen Con, and we recorded from there on the third day of the convention. We do not have our usual band of miscreants, as some were not able to make it, but we still were able to give you our impression of the con (in true Gamerstable style).

We discuss our love/hate relationship with table-top miniature wargames. We (as a group and individually) have been playing wargames for 20+ years and have dropped lots of cash into it. Nevertheless, even though we seldom get to play them (some more than others) we still love to do it, and will continue to hemorrhage money into the hobby.

We welcome a new member of the cast, Shawn. He is gracious enough to allow us to record at his house during the summer (thus keeping us from killing each other in a heat induced psychotic outburst).
Our topic is MMO’s (Massive Multi-player Online games… for those who don’t understand nerd) which is something that the gaming community is split on, some love it and some revile... [click here for more]

We take a look at fantasy roleplaying and the debate over high magic and low magic. There are many different theories on which is better, but ultimately it is personal preference. We , as a group, tackle this topic with our usual fervor (or lack of) and as always… accomplish little.

The best way for us to get all the guys together at one venue is to mention that we are going to play Shadowrun. (For those who don’t know) It is a game set in the near future that incorporates high technology with fantasy.
There are some that don’t like it, but we still love it and will always consider it one of our favorites.

We continue a trend where we pit a philosophical aspect of gaming against another. Now we look at combat heavy games (or even just game sessions) and how they stack up against games that focus more on the roleplaying (storytelling).

We talk about a topic that has plagued roleplaying games for as long as there have been multiple players at the table, player versus player intrigue. Many of us can site examples where someone’s character’s motivations have derailed or ruined a game. Is it necessary or is it purely distraction?

We were given copies of Hackmaster Basic and the Hacklopedia of Beasts by Kenzer & Companyand were asked to review them on the show, which we present to you now.
We decided to record our session of character generation, play the game (off mic) the following week, and then record our reaction to the game itself the next week.
This episode is longer than most of our previous ones.

Gamebreakers, those aspects of gameplay that can ruin a night’s gaming or even an entire campaign. We also touch on the subject of gamers cheating.
We also welcome a new semi-regular guest to the cast – Greg. He is a long time friend and gaming group member who has just returned to us and he will be visiting us every four episodes or so.

Something we used to do a lot was create characters of advanced level, but we stopped and now almost exclusively make entry-level characters and go from there.
Is there a reason to make a more advanced character? Are the lower levels more important because they are the formative, character developing levels that set the stage for the character’s career?
This week we take a look... [click here for more]
